Let’s cook – involving your baby in everyday life

What to try 

  • When you’re making a meal or preparing a snack, involve your baby in an appropriate way.  
  • This could be by giving them some of the ingredients to hold and taste or by giving them a small bowl of water and some vegetables to wash.  

 

Good to know 

As your baby’s physical skills develop, they will be able to join in with stirring and cutting ingredients, but even just having them close by and chatting as you cook helps them learn about the world around them.
